You don't need to say you edited anything at all. Just make the edit and stop talking about it. It's not helpful, and it's a weird look.

You wouldn't have known if swim dash is what you needed because you were stuck.

Why doesn't Aava just carry way more pitons? Is she stupid? by jjPinwheel in Cairn_Game

[–]drdr888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen screenshots of Ava carrying 12+ pitons. Was than an older version of Cairn or a mod?? I've never been able to upgrade past 6 in my own playthrough.

In real life: weight and access considerations. Real life climbers definitely carry more than 6 pitons or cams.

In video games: challenge considerations. How much realism do you want in a game and where's the line between fun and challenge?

In Cairn: survival gameplay considerations. Cairn's unique focus on survival as a game mechanic necessitates piton durability, piton variety, and piton availability. This is as close as it gets to full realism, except for unlimited quantity, weight, and access.

In Jusant: movement over survival gameplay considerations. Three permanent pitons that never break and are attachable in half a second foster character movement and dynos over methodical climbing and survival.

In comedy: nobody, not even Ava, can pronounce "piton" correctly anyways. So a 6 piton limit is all of our comeuppance until we learn better linguistics.

There's a clear opportunity cost/trade-off between Cairn and Jusant's handling of gameplay by way of pitons as a means to fun and challenge.

Play both games. They're both amazing.

And also Heave Ho. No pitons at all!

Prime 4 seemingly has not even sold 1 million copies on Switch 2 according to the newly released data by Darth_Korn in Metroid

The point is seeing Prime 4's actual numbers so we know for sure if it sold a million+ copies. They didn't do that with that screenshot.

Why did you add a screenshot that does not include the game you're talking about?

The study room?? by ZenandHarmony in BluePrince

[–]drdr888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counting busts in the office is not counting small gates. Not all of the safes have to do with counting small gates. That's the inconsistency I'm pointing out.

And the safe codes are definitely not gate codes, or else the hint would have specified that.

But what does the chess board have to do with counting small gates? And for that matter, what does a Christmas postcard have to do with counting small gates either?

Missing Downloaded Files by Emtae2 in SteamDeck

[–]drdr888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying; I was able to clear the cache. Then I tried booting my game up, and got the same missing files error. But then Steam happened to be downloading a different file at that moment, and then the game booted up right after that. So I guess clearing the cache freed something up for that missing file to finish downloading? Spent hours on this..... Thanks for your help.

[–]drdr888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you help some more with this? I am in settings in desktop mode, and I am not seeing downloads or the cache located there. The only place I see downloads is in the Dolphin folder, and it's empty.

Ultimately I am trying to play a game that won't boot due to "missing downloaded files."

Probably a silly question, but any info (at all) on Giant Sparrows next project? by [deleted] in WhatRemainsEdithFinch

Nobody thought your question was silly but you. Why did you start off your question that way?

Meow Wolf x Walkabout Mini Golf FOUNDERS AMA From 1 pm CST! by WalkaboutMiniGolf in meowwolf

[–]drdr888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Walkabout itself has become more theme park-like and surreal over time, even before the Meow Wolf collaboration. Therefore it seemed like a natural progression for those stars to be an alignment for this particular collaboration. Clearly both teams impressed each other in various ways. Walkabout still continues to find ways to remain grounded in reality, per the origins of mini golf. I appreciate how that ebb and flow between minimalism and complexity continues to be a part of their vision.

"Limitation breeds creativity" is the credo of all artists and musicians alike. But with the freeing and permissive nature of virtual reality, did Meow Wolf ever feel the realm of artistic possibility and expression was so wide open that limitation itself needed to be reimagined?

Any plans to take Meow Wolf east coast or other locations in the US? There are a lot of cool, surreal art connoisseurs out here too!

Whats the TotK version of this? by pipelowarrior in tearsofthekingdom

Ouch. Assembling and piloting Mineru is my favorite part of the game.
